If there are no measles cases at your school, students and staff should attend school regardless of vaccination status.
If a case is found, please contact Public Health who will provide advice. Public Health will check school rolls against the Aotearoa Immunisation Register.
Unvaccinated or partially vaccinated students/staff may be asked by Public Health to stay home only if they’re close contacts of a confirmed case.
Public health officials will contact those affected directly with instructions, including quarantine if needed.
Fully vaccinated students and staff can return to school once their status is confirmed by Public Health.
Public Health is working to speed up this process to avoid unnecessary time away from school.
